V.A.L.U.E. in Winter Wonderland

[Takanari]

I’d like to join @Alaadu .

As a quick pre game update:

Xala (the kobold wizard/fighter) died, got reunited with all the spirits he “imagines” finding that they were indeed listening (including parents). And then he got resurrected by his last party being unsure if that’s even the right path for him, but happy to be given this opportunity he’s now ok with all the death he sees around him (turning him more towards offensive evil and chaotic)

He is still a (human equivalent to) a teenager in a old man’s body.

[ThatGuyTed]

@frogemiah might be there as well. → Will be decided spontaneous tomorrow. Will join my table if she’s there.

[Atanen]

I don’t know for sure (~80%), but I might be there too with my T1 lvl2 monk, this time alone

[Darthbinks]

will re-run my oneshot set in the lands of the Dragonborn (T1)

no need to play a Dragonborn yourself … but if you do

[Darthbinks]

my T1 oneshot will delve a bit into the lore of Faerûn’s Dragonborn nation of Tymanther
… no need for extra pre-knowledge
… being able to speak Draconic is helpful but not needed
… also note that the adventure will have some horror elements

---

no need to play a dragonborn, but if you wanna do so:
you can choose a Clan and their clan piercings:

• Clan Kepeshkmolik (big):
  piercings: mother-of-pearl disks that resembled the waxing then waning moon across their brow
  the most openly religious of the Clans - which is not saying much
  mostly worship Enlil (sky/justice), since he helped Tymanther during the Spellplague
  if one would argue, who is the most influencial Clan right now, their name would come out on top
  allies of Clan Tlassian

• Clan Ophinshtalajiir (big):
  piercings: two light jade rings on the right side of neck
  very traditional; they manage the teleportation circles in the big cities
  they have famous architects and builders among their ancestors
  they also have notable sorcerers with access to powerful earth magic

• Clan Shestandeliath (big):
  piercings: silver chains from the left nostril to the frill along the left ear
  also a very powerful clan; they own many farmlands
  they are known for breeding the Ishen-Charac, a Tymantheran breed of warhorses
  known to really hate the dragon-goddess Tiamat
  bad vibes with Clan Verthisathurgiesh

• Clan Verthisathurgiesh (big):
  piercings: dark jade plugs at their right jaw frill
  very traditional; they are in decline and try to regain their lost glory - which is not an easy task
  rumours say, that they guard several powerful artifacts
  they have diplomatic connections to the human kindom of Cormyr (king Arthur knightly realm)
  bad vibes with Clan Shestandeliath

• Clan Kanjentellequor (minor):
  piercings: silver skewers through their jawline
  known as sages & lorekeepers; they have notable wizards
  is the one that has the most numbers of spellcasters among their ranks
  their patriarch is known to finance expeditions (adventurer groups)

• Clan Prexijandilin (minor):
  piercings: enamel primroses pierced into their cheeks at the end of plumes
  very traditional; also very warlike - even for Tymantheran Dragonborn standards
  they lost some of their lands in the Second Sundering
  known for their giant slaying as well as for their flower farms

• Clan Tlassian (minor):
  piercings: amethyst squares in lower lip
  famous for their farmers; also very good smiths/armorers
  they lost some of their lands in the Second Sundering
  they have good connections to the dwarves of the Great Rift (gold dwarf kingdom)
  allies of Clan Kepeshkmolik

• Clan Yrjixtilex (minor):
  piercings: red jasper axe-head shaped jewels along their right brow
  another farming Clan, but this one lost almost all their lands during the Second Sundering
  now many Clan members are migrant workers or are trying to build new farms
  the Clan is actually quite big number-wise, but had only little political influence until recently
  the current Vanquisher (military ruler of Tymanther) is from this Clan, giving it a little push

there is also a (relatively) new Clan of humans (and a few Tieflings)

• Clan Khothararirilim (minor):
  piercing: two heavy gold rings in the left ear
  mostly Unther humans (fantasy Mesopotamian/Assyrians) and some tieflings
  many of the humans worship Enlil (sky/justice)

p.s.: if you want to play a dragonborn from a different clan write me a PM

Notes:

• Tymanther Dragonborn have interbred so much, that their scale colour does not match their ancestry any more - so a Dragonborn with red dragon ancestry could have bluish-white scales

• every Dragonborn had to do two years of mandatory military service in Tymanther’s standing army, the Lance Defenders

• the worship of dragon-gods, like Bahamut/Marduk and Tiamat is forbidden and is punishable by exile!

• serving demons and/or dragons is punishable by death

• bargaining with devils on the other hand is fine

• Tymanther exports weapons and glassworks / main imports are jewelry, wood and metal

• beside Enlil (sky/justice), who is the most accepted god in Tymanther, both Chauntea (agriculture) and Ilmater (perseverance/martyrdom) are also sometimes worshiped, esp. in the rural areas

Homebrew Story Awards

“A Handy Backpack”
Requirement: You took the Heward’s handy haversack (rare) as a reward for this adventure

This is a nice backback. Awesome!

“Tymanther Lore Dump”
for @BufoBufo @iBug @stardewchicken

You listened to the Kanjentellequor storyteller during the festival.
ONCE at my table your character can choose to automatically succeed on a History check regarding lore about Tymanther, Tymanchebar, and/or Unther.
You have to choose to use this award before rolling.

“Prexijandilin Doll”
for @BufoBufo

You bought a Prexijandilin doll at the Awakening festival, with a nice dress made out of flowers.
Might be a great gift for the right person?

“Exploded Too Young”
for @BufoBufo & @mane

You remember Baroun, the brave rock gnome sage, who aided you against the evil spirit.
Should you ever be in the catacombs of Djerad Kethendi (Fortress of Gems), the second biggest fortress-city of Tymanther, you could go to the halls of the Thrikominari (clanless) to meditate to gain Inspiration.

… please keep in mind that these Homebrew Story Awards only work on my tables

---

@katnyx

The cremated ashes of Baroun will be placed in the catacombs underneath Djerad Kethendi (Fortress of Gems), the second biggest fortress-city of Tymanther and a major trading hub.
They will be resting in the hall of the Thrikominari (clanless). Since Dragonborn cities are a bit overpopulated, this is actually a popular make-out spot, since this area is rarely visited by Dragonborn praying to their ancestors.
Actually, since Baroun had been a small gnome, the Dragonborn will use a smaller urn, which will be placed at a higher shelve, so Baroun will have a really pretty good view.

[Darthbinks]

a few Vayemniri (Dragonborn in their language; lit. the Ash-Marked Ones) songs
from the Awakening festival:

---

• The Battle of the Crippled Mountain

This is a general Vayemniri (Dragonborn) song.
It tells how Shurideh and Iksdara Who-Would-Be-Verthisathurgiesh, their kinsman Reshvemi Who-Would-Be-Verthisathurgiesh, and Thuchir Who-Would-Be-Shestandeliath (descendant of Haizverad and bearer of the Breath of Petron) infiltrated the Celestial Mountain, the volcano lair of Rhodrolytharnestryx, the Tyrant of Tyrants, while the red dragon and his dragon army fought against the army of dragonborn rebels.
Shurideh, Iksdara, Reshvemi and Thuchir infiltrated the volcano using two artifacts - the Breath of Petron, and then the Eye of Blazing Rorn - to trigger an eruption so powerful that killed Rhodrolytharnestryx (and miraculously, all four survived).
The ash from the eruption rained for 40 days, and the dragonborn survivors of the battle took it as an omen. They renamed themselves the Vayemniri (lit. the Ash-Marked Ones), no longer slaves but free.

---

• Hazor and the Jet-Boned Tyrant

This Kanjentellequor song is about how a dracolich known as Daelfyrthimachian, the Jet-Boned Tyrant, constantly raided Vayemniri (Dragonborn) tombs to raise them as undead, forcing the Vayemniri to kill their dead until they defined their funerary customs.
This song is also the reason dragonborn don’t fear the Wall of the Faithless.
("Better oblivion that apart from our clans. Better an end than a perpetuity in bondage …")

---

• The Many Esham-Ana

An Yrjixtilex song. Esham-Ana Who-Would-Be-Yrjixtilex was one of the guards of the slave pens of Gauwervyndhal, the Empress Dragon of Skelkor. He used his position to bring food and other commodities to his fellow slaves.
Ororonymilith, the Vizier of Broken Thorns, a copper dragon, was tasked by Gauwer to find the one who was stealing her food, and the copper dragon went to the slave pens to investigate, using a clanless dragonborn to discover that Esham-Ana was the culprit. The next day, he went to the mines and demanded the slaves to bring Esham-Ana to him to face “justice”.
However, all the slaves began to say that they were Esham-Ana — they never would hand over the one who sustained them to the Foul Empress Dragon — startling the dragon long enough to lower his guard.
Ororonymilith’s skull was the first dragon skull claimed by the first Who-Would-Be-Yrjixtilex.

---

• The death of the elders in Raurokh

A Kepeshkmolik song. Shaspur Who-Would-Be-Kepeshkmolik was raised in Raurokh, the fortress of Raurokhymdar the Golden, a gold dragon who conducted experiments to breed better dragonborn slaves. Shaspur was one of her best specimens, and he was raised by seven wise dragonborn elders (Ana-Mashal, Baishiria, Hurashum, Nazari, Qinnaz, Rahishu, and Zerath) so Raurokhymdar could use him as the new father of a better, stronger dragonborn slave clutch.
One day, Shaspur devised a plan to flee Raurokh, but the plan has a big fail: the elders won’t survive it. The elders told Shaspur that he should go on with the plan, saving the younger slaves, while they sacrificed their lives to buy Shaspur time.
The song ends with the tale of how many years later, after the dragonborn founded their nation, Raurokhymdar the Golden was destroyed by Shaspur’s descendants, avenging the dead of the elder ancestors.
